Taiwan GDP Growth Reaches 13.69 Percent

Mastodon Taipei 18d12d Impact 8

The Taiwan Institute of Economic Research (TIER) increased its 2026 gross domestic product growth forecast to 7.56% on Friday. The adjustment comes as analysts reassess regional productivity and trade trends. Taiwan's first quarter economic growth reached 13.69 percent, according to data released by the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics. Taiwan's GDP reached $80.2 billion as shipments rose 62% year-on-year, nearly doubling previous estimates. The growth is largely attributed to TSMC, which recorded a 35% jump in quarterly revenue on a year-on-year basis. TSMC's performance helped propel the Taiwan stock market to 6th place globally, overtaking the UK and Canada in the last three weeks. This represents the fastest pace of growth for the economy in almost 40 years. The report indicates economic expansion during the period.
